Howie L Thin Man Movies are like a wonderful meal of comfort food. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/04/24 Full Review nick s A little too stagey for me. The actors sounded like they were delivering lines at each other rather than communicating. The humour was shoehorned in and wasn't terribly amusing. It did have some good production value, but overall a slog to watch. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/12/24 Full Review Joel H I don't know how they did it, but the Thin Man film series is still going strong four movies in. Shadow of the Thin Man is another enjoyable journey with Nick & Nora Charles. And, once again, the mystery is entertaining, but the real amusement comes from the interactions between William Powell and Myrna Loy. Their on-screen relationship is the main reason why I keep watching these movies. I was also impressed by Stella Adler's performance and it was fun to see Donna Reed in a supporting role. I still think the first film is the best, but I'm excited to watch the final two movies the Thin Man franchise. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/24 Full Review acsdoug D I didn't care much for this one. It's played more for laughs and cuteness than an actual murder mystery. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/22/23 Full Review Russ G As is usual with these Hollywood whodunnit's, there are too many suspects and plot twists to expect the viewer to keep up, but that's hardly the point. Mr. Powell is debonair, Miss Loy is lovely in her sharp suits, stylish hats, and gowns, and the supporting cast is competent. However, the REAL star of this is Astra! Oh, Donna Reed appears in a supporting role but she'd be on to bigger and better things within a year or two. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member The movie starts with Nick having his son Ricky on a leash, who in turn has Asta on a leash, and later Nick and Nora go to the horse races...and a jockey involved in a race-fixing racket is shot. Nick and Nora duck out when asked to get involved, but upon going to a wrestling match, another man is shot, and they accept when asked to take part in the investigation. There are obvious racketeers involved, but also corrupt newspaper people, so who's been doing the killing? The Ricky scenes are fun, especially when Nick is forced to drink a glass of milk, but otherwise the movie is rather dull, and the story itself has rather serious holes in it, such as a gun shooting after falling into a drain. The resolution is even worse, when you think about it. Fortunately the fifth one is better. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
